    Great location directly Across the street from CIBC Theater. Food and service were excellent. We were seated promptly even though we arrived a few minutes early. Staff was attentive without hovering. No complaints at all.

    Ordered an appetizer and salad together but the salad was delayed. Only after asking our server about the status, did we get the salad. Had the double filet, which was a nice cut of meat. Unfortunately it was way overcooked. Ordered medium and it was cooked well done.

    Tasty food and very good service, albeit a bit pricey. The location is perfect though for dinner before a show at the CIBC theater.

    The food was fair if not below average for the price. The ceviche and the shrimp cocktail were low quality and flavorless for the price point. The pasta was extremely heavy on the sauce and the service was slow. The server also brought everything out at once rather than staggering the apps from the entree. We were also charged for a side that was never brought to the table.

    We were greeted nicely and seated early. It is a beautiful atmosphere. The service was a bit detached and slightly hostile after our order. There was some obvious condescension when asked for clarification about a salad. There are dozens of restaurants to choose from in the Theater District and the food wasn’t good enough to negate the service to warrant a return when we are back for the next 5 shows of the season.
